About Mastery
Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students.
At Mastery, we’re on a mission to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student achievement is not just a goal for our organization; it's the reason we exist, and every member of our team is dedicated to securing student success. We are also committed to pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices.
Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated.
Join us in creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
The Opportunity
If you are obsessed with history and using the past to understand the present (as well as predict the future) then a role as a History Teacher at Mastery is for you. You will both have unit plans and guides provided by our Central Office and access to world class curriculum from TCI and the DBQ Project that will help you help your students develop a love of history.
From 7th through 12th Grades, Mastery’s students learn Ancient World History, African American History, Modern World History, US History, and Government/Economics (as well as have the chance to take AP Modern World History, AP US History, and AP Government/Economics).
At Mastery we value Continuous Improvement and want you to learn and grow in your craft. We utilize a team of Assistant Principals, central-office coaches, and school-based content teams to provide every teacher coaching and feedback. We have professional development or peer collaboration time built into our staff calendar. You will receive professional development annually and have a professional development allowance to use to further your growth.
